my brain has too much space to wander around and get lost in

I had these two small quandaries lurking around in the shadowy corners of my mind.

One was:
"hmm, I have all these lemons, I should experiment with making lemon poppyseed cake; but who's going to eat all that lemon poppyseed cake?"

The other was:
"hmm, I've been invited to a potluck, but what on earth could I make?"

...obviously both lurking very quietly, because had they been wandering out in the open, surely they would have met up and annihilated each other like matter and anti-matter.

Alas, they did not notice each other until it was too late to make cake for party.
